Gerber is an iconic baby food brand founded in Michigan, 1927, by Daniel Frank Gerber. Today, Gerber is a subsidiary of Nestle Group and is one of the major players in the United States baby food market with a 61% share of the market.
The famous face and trademark logo for all of their baby products are widely known as the Gerber Baby. The original Gerber baby, introduced in 1928, was 5 months old Ann Turner Cook.
Fast forward to February 2018 and Gerber have succeeded in their search for the new face of their baby product line. Introducing Lucas Warren, the new face of Gerber Baby. Lucas was the lucky winner from a staggering 140,000 entries!
Recently both Ann, 92 (years young) and Lucas came together to commemorate this historic moment with a few pictures, and I must warn you, it’s too cute to handle
